I'm facing the same (or similar) issue as described here: Unity Launcher and Top Panel disappeared in 14.04

Unfortunately I cannot try the provided solution (https://askubuntu.com/a/476623), as I fail to log in. I always get Login incorrect.

I already checked my password by typing it in as login name. Everything is correct. No caps, no num. I also have no problems getting to my desktop with my user name and password. Could it be due to my username Stefan Schmid with a space?

The System is 14.04 LTS. On the login screen there is still the menu bar. I even can get to settings. But thats about it. E.g: when I click on users, nothing happens.

What should I do?

You may be using the wrong username. As usernames do not usually contain spaces or capitals, the username that is created for you is different than the name that appears on the LightDM log-in screen.

To solve, log-in to TTY1 using just stefan as the username, and then follow the instructions in the other question for the rest of your issue.
